St. Helen's
Kensington and Chelsea, London
St. Helen's sits in the far north of Kensington and Chelsea around Latimer Road and the approach to the Westway, with the entire ward inside a conservation area. The listed-building set is down to one: a Grade II telephone kiosk outside Number 46. Fifteen outstanding-rated schools sit within reach and the education score comes in at 71. Public-transport access is good, anchored by Latimer Road on the Hammersmith & City and Circle lines. The drawbacks are substantial and stacked. Safety scores are very weak at 20, green space is almost absent at 0.6 hectares with Maxilla Walk the only named site, pollution scores sit at 37, and the market score of 26 reflects RBKC prices without the amenity base of the garden-square wards. The planning score of 13 is low but the ward has lived through more disruption than most — this is the ground that includes the Grenfell Tower site.
